Comment (by dd32):

 The problem here is, What Proxy configurations do you support? There are
 at least 4 different fields you can use for the Remote IP when proxied,
 none of them guaranteed to be reliable, Many different ways to present SSL
 information, etc

 In this case, Remapping/correcting the `$_SERVER` vars to what you
 ''know'' is good for your server configuration after it's been proxied is
 a must, only the server admin really knows what fields their proxy is
 passing that the proxy has been set and can trust the value of.

 You'll want to correct REMOTE_ADDR as well in `wp-config.php` (for spam
 filtering and comment logging)
